Abstract: A utility vehicle that includes a vehicle control system having one or more real time clocks (RTC). The RTC can be embedded in the vehicle control system, or in components or subsystems of the vehicle control system, and can be either dedicated electronics or software based. Information provided by the RTC can be used to synchronize components and subsystems of the vehicle control system. Further, such inclusion of the RTC can enable the vehicle control system to initiate a number of time based functions, including, for example, time based functions relating to battery charging, wake-up and shut down of components, status reporting, periodic vehicle level events and maintenance, and management of time based operation or use of the utility vehicle or components thereof, including vehicle cameras.

Abstract: An improved humidity control sensor is provided that cost effectively allows for a more efficient operation of a refrigerator by using two temperature sensors to determine ambient conditions of a room housing the refrigerator. Based on the two temperature sensor measurements, the humidity control sensor may e.g., use a processing device to efficiently control a heating element in thermal communication with an exterior surface of the refrigerator's cabinet to prevent condensation from forming on that exterior surface.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a query that identifies a taxonomy item. The method also includes performing a computer taxonomy based search of a plurality of content items against the taxonomy item in response to the query. The taxonomy item is selected from a faceted taxonomy. The computer based taxonomy search identifies a subset of content items where each content item in the subset of content items has a non-binary relevance score with respect to the taxonomy item.

Abstract: The problem of firmly gripping a cylindrical component over a range of permitted diameters is solved by providing a protrusion on the surface of a cantilevered seat, the seat being substantially complementarily curved to accommodate the cylindrical component. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention a clamp for holding a cylindrical component is provided comprising at least one curved seat having at least one protrusion, the curved seat being cantilevered by a first end. The protrusion is configured to contact the cylindrical component under load such that a concentrated load is exerted on the curved seat between a first end and a second end causing the curved seat to be elastically deflected.

Abstract: An electrical adaptor. The adaptor includes a plug body with a plurality of plugs each having different plug configurations. Each of the plugs is movable between an extended position, with the plug extending through the outer wall of the plug body, and a retracted position, with the plug being substantially retracted behind the outer wall. The adaptor also includes an actuator coupled to the plug body. The actuator is rotatable relative to the plug body to move the plugs between the extended and retracted positions.
